ANYONE PACKING A HOSPITAL BAG FOR THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER?

Comments (20)

Well, he packed his own bag. But we were in the hospital for a few days after my c-section so he needed a few things. Not clothes since he had to come home daily, but his kindle and books and a few snacks.

We did because we didn't know what was going to happen and he needs clothing and food just as much as I would, it just was sensible to me that I'd make sure he could be taken care of while he was there for me worried and trying to help.

My bag was big enough for the both of us to pack essential things. We also live about 10 minutes from the hospital and he goes home about twice a day or so to walk the dog and to pick up anything he or I need. I’d say pack him one (or share a big one) for him too.

Your baby probably loves to be held, caressed, kissed, stroked, massaged, and carried. He may even make an "ah" sound when he hears your voice or sees your face, and he'll be eager to find you in a crowd.

Your baby may gurgle, coo, grunt, and hum to express his feelings. A few babies also begin squealing and laughing. Be sure to coo and gurgle back, and talk to your baby face to face. He'll enjoy holding your gaze now.
